Academic team tryouts for 5th-8th grade will be Wednesday, August 28th and Thursday, August 29th during after school.
The Illinois River Area Community Organization recently received a grant from Cherokee Nation and has purchased toiletry items to be distributed to all students at three area schools . IRACO hopes to finish distributing items at Grand View on Wednesday.
Parents of Grand View Students:
1. When checking out students from school, please arrive at the office no later than 2:45 which gives the office staff time to locate and check out students. If you are later than 2:45, you will need to wait in the parent pick up line for dismissal.
2. Once students are dismissed you must wait in the car line for a teacher to walk your child to your car.
3. All after school changes need to be called in before 1:45.
4. Please keep in mind that checking out a student before 3:00 reflects on his/her attendance records. Early checkouts and tardies count as missing a part of the day.
Thank you for your cooperation.

"Grandioso" Band Days, July 22-31.
Ms. Rooster's 3rd grade class has been working on presentations about the five tribes of Oklahoma! They presented this Monday for a reading specialist from NSU. The tribes represented were Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Choctaw.
The student groups researched information about the tribes including the tribes population, the first chief of the specific tribes, traditional dances/ clothes/foods/games, the population of the tribes and some more interesting facts that the students wanted to know about the tribe they were researching.
The Cultural Resource Center from the Cherokee Nation came and spent the day with our Grand View Students on Friday, April 26, 2024.

Thank you to the Cherokee Nation and the CRC taking the time to come and teach our children!
